Am                  Em
Tell me something stupid
Bm               F  
Auction off my diary
Em               F
Life is getting esoteric
Bm              G
Let me in your movie
Am               Em   
Each time i walk out the door
G              Bm 
Someone mixes metaphors
F                 Em            Am 
Life is so much cleaner on the page


Chorus 1:
              G                   Am
It's like the morning when i'm dreaming
          G                Am
And everything is so pristine
            G            Am
It's just a seven hour movie
    G              Am
And i'm in every scene


Verse 1:

Am            Em
Let me in my t.v.
Bm                F
Get this tape to tori
Em             G
Got to have a subplot
        Bm                 G
When i sell them my life story
Am               Em
Maybe i should write it first
    G              Bm    
And do the living later
       F                 Em            Am 
'cause life is so much cleaner on the page


Chorus 2:

              G               Am
It's like the time i lost my body
           G            Am
And then i saw it on t.v.
           G                Am
Somehow it shed a whole dimension
    G                     Am
But it still looked like me
 G                    Am
(hey! that looks like me!)



Chorus 3:

Am                 Em
Each time i write lines for it
G             Bm 
Someone improvises it
F                 Em            Am 
Life is so much cleaner on the page
F                 Em            Am 
Life is so much cleaner on the page
